Perhaps it is just that I am overly sensitive having lost 2 friends to suicide but I do find that public address 'joke' about 'Suicide in a public place being strictly prohibited' in rather poor taste. Just saying. |

I think it has to do with the fact that traveling for the space mercenaries is quicker by leaving a clone and going to a clone where you want to be rather than transporting the clone where you want to be. Same way it's easier to deliver the contents of a letter over a distance in a short time (email) rather than the actual letter (mail). The content is the mind; the container is the clone. hence open the container, get the info, ship the info, put it in new container where you want the info to be. The easiest way to open the container is to commit suicide.
It's less of a joke and more of an atmosphere. suicide is not permanent here. In fact, now it's the fastest means of travel in the galaxy. Doesn't make it any less gruesome for the people around to see it, so please keep it out of the public areas. |

Your friends were not immortal, these mercs are. These mercs just respawn into a new body when they die, so suicide doesn't mean anything substantial to them. In this context, I don't see how its offensive or in "poor taste".
Suicide is a way of ditching a body to get to a new one instantly. |

As someone who has experienced a friends suicide first hand, and had to save someone who has attempted suicide.
I find your complaint a little confusing.
I see no correlation to what is said in game with real life.
I do feel sorry that it brings up memories for you personally, but that being said, the problem is in the way YOU see it, not in how it is said. |

Its far less of a joke than a statement of how the "immortals" in the New Eden universe tend to place personal gain and convenience above any cares of anyone else. |

I feel sorry that you had to endure knowing people who committed suicide, but their passing has nothing to do with the game and the message you heard in the warbarge. It's just you taking it the wrong way thinking that CCP was being insensitive when in fact they were sticking to the Eve lore of how death has been reduced to nothing more than a mode of transportation. |

Hey man, seen friends do it, sat suicide watch 5 or 6 times, and lost a few friends to IEDs...If I followed your logic I would boycot combat games because i've lost brethren to such actions, but I don't follow your logic. Instead of dwelling in the past about what could have happened or what should of happened vs. what DID happen, I moved on and try to live my life better because they can't. That said, stop your friggin cryin, get strong and move on. Suicide is terrible, but once it happens you can't change it....friends getting blown up is terrible, can't change that either. All you can do is grit your teeth, man up, and kick that next door in. |
